~~Good Tuesday Morning!!~~
- Thread starter stosh
- Start date
Nice!!! I'm in. Are you racing? If one wanted to sign up (like the self punishing person I am), how would one do so? Any change in the weather expectation for KT this weekend?robdamanii said:
Dude - I don't like work. Finding you a job smells alot like work. It's not like Denver is some sort of backwoods cow town.dogwonder said:
Well....... maybe it is.
Will you at least have beer or are you going to have a flowery picnic basket full of wine hippy?SkaredShtles said:The stunt double will do the climbing. I will stand in to do the gloating at the top when you're puking your guts out.

the joint is a 45 minutes drive for me, as long as I dont have a race that day...I'm in.
But think of the benefits of your work. Your kids would have a never ending supply of Mountain DewSkaredShtles said:Dude - I don't like work. Finding you a job smells alot like work. It's not like Denver is some sort of backwoods cow town.

I'll have beer. I don't generally bring steak on a bike ride.dogwonder said:
Yeah. That's just what my kids need.dogwonder said:But think of the benefits of your work. Your kids would have a never ending supply of Mountain Dew
Forget it. You'd be much happier staying in NY.

We're looking at 20% chance of showers on friday and saturday, sunny and nice on sunday, and 40% chance of thundershowers on Monday.
We'll probably try to pre-ride on Saturday the 8th, but we'll know more as we approach.

Heh Heh.......I could go on about how I picked up this really cool, telephoto doo-hickey for my DSLR, but I gotta cowboy-up and just say........
.....it's just a crappy 3MP Canon digi-cam that I chuck into my Camelback for quickie ride shots and stuff.
Thanks for the props, though.
the 8th or the 9th?douglas said:
I Are Baboon said:
Hmm...maybe the 8th
I have yet to decide on which race to do on the 9th, if I do the closer one than I could hit Jiminy on the 8th, (the other one I would be diving to the venue on the 8th)
this w/e, Sunday is out....and I might already have plans for SatJim Mac said:
(I'll let ya know)
KO! Tigg?douglas said:
I can't do the 8th or 9th, but I may be able to get there this Sat. I'll let ya' know....Jim Mac said:
We'll be out there. You should join us. Have you been to Stewart yet?dogwonder said:
bikereg.com will get you the early discount price
Kingdom is looking partly rainy, partly stormy and one day has been upgraded to partly cloudy. Come thunder or high water, I'm determined to get out on those trails!
Nice! That's the best kind!Greyhound said:Heh Heh.......I could go on about how I picked up this really cool, telephoto doo-hickey for my DSLR, but I gotta cowboy-up and just say........

OK, so maybe, tentatively, possibly but still somehow unlikely an impromptu Ridemonkey DH meeting will occur on 7/1 @ 12 noon at Jiminy Peak. Meet at the bike shop to sign your lovely waivers.I Are Baboon said:
I will look like this dude, minus the helmet (at least while signing the waiver):

You're totally right... we always get blizzards and junk in August, and it rains almost non-stop in June and July, there's no good riding, you should probably just not come anywhere near Colorado... ever...SteveW said:Yes, the rain/hail of biblical proportions CO got over the weekend is something to be envied.
Full Trucker said:Amen...

Except dogwonder. I like him. He should come join us in our misery.
I'll be there the 17th-22nd in August.Full Trucker said:Amen...

Cool. I'm trying to round up some of the Elevate crew as well. Hope to see you then!Jim Mac said:
Good afternoon. Today begins my summer vacation...no more school until September :dancing: Actually, we had a brief breakfast meeting yesterday and that ended the school year. So far today, I have played with the baby and cleaned my kitchen. Probably going to squeeze in a ride today if the rain holds off.
It's times like this that I kick myself repeatedly for not becoming a teacherTreeSaw said:
Congrats on enduring yet another school year!TreeSaw said:
Frikkin' teachers. :mumble: :mumble:
What do you mean you don't have steak on a bike ride? That's like saying you don't bring cheesecake with you!SkaredShtles said:I'll have beer. I don't generally bring steak on a bike ride.
Why you little...:mumble:SkaredShtles said:Yeah. That's just what my kids need.
Forget it. You'd be much happier staying in NY.
Sweet...I remember the weather report from Vermont always seemed to be a mix of sun and clouds with a chance of rain. That's going out on a limb!robdamanii said:
I hope so! It sounds like there are lots of storms that hit the mountainsdogwonder said:
There are no mountains in Vermont.bluebug32 said:

I emailed them and they hope to get things back on track soon. You said it drains well?dogwonder said:
Maybe I need to pick up some fenders....
Or a canoe
Bah to tuesday. I worked 12 hours yesterday and 12 today, humpday is gonna be hell if the week keeps on like this.
According to what they e-mailed me, they have no idea when they will open, but they will open "absolutely as soon as possible". If I get stuck up there and don't even get to ride 10 feet, I will be pissed beyond understanding.dogwonder said:
Damn that sucks but doesn't surprise me though, don't want to throw in the towel until the last possible moment.robdamanii said:
But the weather forecast ain't looking great either.

I'm hoping for ya...there isn't much else to do if it is a washout
Yeah, we've got a list of things to drive to and do. You know, if we have to hang out at Magic Hat for 4 or 5 hours...you know...it works. I damned well want to ride that place though.dogwonder said:Damn that sucks but doesn't surprise me though, don't want to throw in the towel until the last possible moment.

Yeah, we figure we'll forgo all the basket weaving shops and maple sugar shacks and fill the trunk at Longtrail, Harpoon and Magic Hat, come back to the B&B and sit in the hot tub with a case of VT's finest.robdamanii said:
Harpoon is pretty far...Boston ain't that close...May I suggest Otter Creek or Vermont Pub & Brewery?bluebug32 said:
